Guys
A few know but it's not been publicised however Deano, Nickvc, Goran, Kurtak, and Patnor are all spending a week together here in the UK having a bit of a "get together."
The information that's coming out as we share things face to face is pretty incredible and there's already one major thing that needs to be said for all the people "discovering" Iridium ores.
Goran bought some samples with him that he wanted us to run by the XRF.
One of the samples read over 80% Iridium when in reality it's 80% Arsenic. This also applied to every other ore sample that contained Arsenic. These have already been assayed elsewhere (and are Arsenic)so we would suggest that anyone who discovers miraculously high levels of Iridium should obtain other analysis to back it up.
This may well explain some of the recent "finds."
Regards
Jon
